Ingredients
- ½ cup 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2¼ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¾ cup whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1½ cups hot water
- Cinnamon-sugar topping 2 tbsp sugar + ½ tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour melted butter into 9x13 baking dish.
- Make batter: In a bowl, whisk flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and 2 tsp cinnamon. Stir in milk and vanilla until smooth (some lumps okay). Pour batter evenly over butter—don't stir.
- Add sugar layer: Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over batter in a single layer.
- Pour water: Slowly pour hot water over entire surface. Do not stir—this creates the gooey caramel sauce underneath.
- Bake 30-35 minutes until golden and bubbly. Sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mix over top, bake 5 more minutes until crusty.
- Cool 10-15 minutes (sauce thickens as it cools). Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
